Accessibility
Built for WCAG 2.1 Level AA
This redesign targets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA success criteria for public park district websites.
Our commitment
Centerville-Washington Park District is committed to providing a website that is usable by people with disabilities. This prototype was designed and tested against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, including automated checks with axe-core and manual keyboard review.
Keyboard access
All primary navigation, search, filters, and forms can be reached and operated with a keyboard. A visible focus indicator marks the active control.
Skip link
A “Skip to content” link appears on focus so keyboard users can bypass the header and go straight to the main landmark.
Text alternatives
Informative images include alternative text. Decorative images are marked so assistive technology can ignore them.
Structure & labels
Pages use landmarks, labeled controls, and meaningful link text so screen reader users can navigate by region and heading.
Motion
Decorative motion respects prefers-reduced-motion and is turned off when that system setting is enabled.
Language
The site language is set to English. A Google Translate control in the footer offers dozens of languages for machine translation.
Known limitations
Third-party embeds (RecDesk registration and Google Translate) are provided by external vendors. Their accessibility may vary and is outside full District control. Where possible we add clear open-in-new labels, transcripts alternatives are noted on program pages, and a native language control wraps Google Translate.
